* \brief Hardware information | |
* | |
* Since liblzma can consume a lot of system resources, it also provides | |
* ways to limit the resource usage. Applications linking against liblzma | |
* need to do the actual decisions how much resources to let liblzma to use. | |
* To ease making these decisions, liblzma provides functions to find out | |
* the relevant capabilities of the underlying hardware. Currently there | |
* is only a function to find out the amount of RAM, but in the future there | |
* will be also a function to detect how many concurrent threads the system | |
* can run. | |
* | |
* \note On some operating systems, these function may temporarily | |
* load a shared library or open file descriptor(s) to find out | |
* the requested hardware information. Unless the application | |
* assumes that specific file descriptors are not touched by | |
* other threads, this should have no effect on thread safety. | |
* Possible operations involving file descriptors will restart | |
* the syscalls if they return EINTR. | |
